What is Travellers’ Choice?
Tripadvisor gives a Travellers’ Choice award to accommodations, attractions and restaurants that consistently earn great reviews from travellers and are ranked within the top 10% of properties on Tripadvisor.
On this excursion we take you to the picturesque medieval village of Kilkenny and its imposing Norman castle. It is known as the "city of marble" for the black stone in its surroundings and decorates many of its buildings. Along the tour we will tell you some of their famous stories and legends, such as that of cats or that of the oldest witch in Ireland. We will also tell you about Kilkenny's division between English town and Irish town and its many churches, abbeys and monasteries. You will enjoy the visit to its magnificent castle, located in a bend of the Nore River. Inside you can observe the lifestyle of its inhabitants over 800 years, among which the Duke of Ormonde stands out. You will have free time to eat and explore its famous pubs and savor a pint of the Smithwick’s beer brewed in Kilkenny and stroll through its medieval streets and visit the Cathedral of San Canicio, building of English Gothic style.

    Inolvidable
    Esta excursión es la que más tiempo te permite estar en los acantilados de Moher y es una de las mejores que puedes hacer en Dublín y más si tienes la suerte de que tu conductor sea Owen y tu guía turístico Antonio, a quien siempre estaremos agradecidos por formar parte de uno de los momentos más inolvidables de nuestra vida. ¡¡Mil gracias!! Antonio hace todo lo posible por amenizar el viaje contándote anécdotas y curiosidades de los sitios por los que pasas con mucho humor, a demás de poner muy buena música durante el trayecto. Es cierto que son muchas horas de autobús... Pero si logras acertar con un día de buen tiempo, será una experiencia inolvidable. This excursion is the one that allows you to spend the longest time on the Cliffs of Moher and is one of the best you can do in Dublin, especially if you are lucky enough to have Owen as your driver and Antonio as your tour guide, to whom we will always be grateful for be part of one of the most unforgettable moments of our lives. Thank you!! Antonio does everything possible to liven up the trip by telling you anecdotes and curiosities about the places you pass through with a lot of humor, in addition to playing very good music during the journey. It is true that there are many hours by bus... But if you manage to hit a day with good weather, it will be an unforgettable experience

    Great Experience - Buena Experiencia
    Una muy buena experiencia - yo recomiendo encarecidamente ir. El guía turístico, Mario, es muy inteligente y amable. Aprendi mucho sobre la historia de Irlanda. **** I signed up for this tour because every other (English-speaking) day trip to Belfast & Giants Causeway was booked for the day I needed. I understand/speak some Spanish but I am a bit slow and don't catch every word. However, I really wanted to see these sites on my trip so I went with this tour. The group was small; maybe 10 people. The bus is a smaller van/bus; wifi was spotty. We went from Dublin (left on time) to Giants Causeway (2 stops on the way up - rest stop & Castle Dunluce photo opportunity) and then Belfast (2 stops on way - Titantic photo opportunity & Shankill Road murals photo opportunity) - no stops on the way back to Dublin but it was a good drive. The tour guide, Mario, narrated the drive. His manner of speaking is clear & energetic, so if you have studied Spanish pr already know some Irish history you may be able to follow along. Everyone in the group was kind as well. I learned plenty, what I didn't understand I can research later, and enjoyed the day :D

    Giants Causeway & Belfast
    An excellent day out to the Giants Causeway & Belfast. Our guide was the lovely Margerita. She knows her stuff & explains everything really well & in an interesting way! We would highly recommend this tour! It’s a great day, you get to see the amazing Giants Causeway, Belfast City and other interesting places. Lots of time too to see and do things. We hope to do another tour with them when we’re back! Thanks Margerita for a great fun day!

    GREAT tour with Jose to Glendalough and lunch at famous Johnnie Fox's pub!
    Great tour to Glendalough and Powerscourt with an excellent lunch at the famous Johnnie Fox's pub! Jose is an excellent guide, the kind of guy that you want to invite to every trip (if you don't have to pay for the meals! :) :). He is both professional and funny so we enjoyed every minute! We discovered beautiful landscapes, visited some of the "traditional" Ireland, learned a lot of interesting things about the country, have a lot of fun, and eat delicious Irish food... You couldn't ask for more!

    Wicklow Powerscourt and lunch at Johnnies Foxes
    To summarise the day, there's just one word FABULOUS. We were likely enough to get excellent weather, the sun was beaming however the air crisp. Highly recommend this tour for those of you who like a walk, breathing in the pure fresh air of Wicklow and see the beautiful sights of Glendagouh and the monastery. The tour then takes you to Powerscourt with the opportunity of seeing beautiful gardens and grounds. The tour then stops for lunch at Johnnie Foxes tasting their home cooked Irish Stew and Whiskey Tart which were lovely. Nevertheless the tour was to its excellence thanks to Oscar, our tour guide and driver. He was very informative knew so much of irelands cultures and history which made the tour so interesting. Thanks loads. 10/10.

    Cliffs of Moher Tour was perfect
    Saul our Guide was really nice and spend a lot of travel time telling things about Ireland, we had time to visit Galway before the Cliffs , the Cliffs are superb , the best thing in our trip. Coming back Saul puts the Gap Year film and the return was so confortable and funny.

    Couldn't be better. Great tours, great driver/guide
    We did two tours with them, one to Galway and the Cliffs of Moher and another one to Glendalough and Wicklow. They were very different but both were great. Reasonable walking times and routes that people from all ages can do, but extensive enough to enjoy it. The tour to the Cliffs is quite exhausting due to it's length - obliviously because of the distance it's from Dublin, but the guide - Simon - was great and knew the exact times to talk or to be quite, provided very interesting information and always with a funny tone that made it more engaging. We first stop in Galway and then went to the Cliffs with a last very interesting stop. The second tour was awesome, short distance from Dublin that gives you time enough to see everything relaxed. We had the same guide in both tours, Simon, he was also BRILLIANT and if we go back will definitely repeat the experience - hopefully next time we will do the 3 days tour on the coast and the one that goes to Belfast - hopefully with Simon too! Fully recommended

    We did both Galway and Wicklow tours
    Galway and the Cliffs of Moher was spectacular, the only downside is the long drive on the bus, although you stop on the way and on the way back which makes it less draining and the driver/tour guide made it entertaining and also explained a lot of Irlands history. I would deffinately recomend this trip as it is very very worth it. Wicklow and Glendalough are also amazing. The scenery is breathtaking and the tour guide was very informative. Then we were taken to lunch to Johnnie Fox's, this pub was brilliant, filled with history and knick knacks, very interesting and a must. The food was also lovely and great to warm you up. We also met some great people on this tour. Keep up the good work guys
